    After a week of deload, first upper was really tough. Drank 3 Gatorades. I will take it down a couple notches next time and increase cals.

    Hmmm, not sure about that ^.... same volume, perhaps not same intensity? Depends? Good question.

    Back to work!... therapeutic massage for 5 hrs. I’m gonna be wiped out, haven’t done it for two months. I should and will do some stretches later today but that’s it!

    I walked close to 20km through woods, with a big d'oh at the end. When I felt I was done I checked for a bus to the nearest station. Meh, still 30 minutes. Walking those last 2km will be faster. So I did. Once I arrived at the station I checked for the best connection back home - and found it was a bus driving in the direction I came from, which will be arriving in 4 minutes. Great. I might as well have sat down in the shade for a few minutes instead of walking those last 2km through a small town. Oh well.. it was still a great day.

    Fri 5/29

    17.7 miles on mountain bike trails. (bit it hard at the 10 mile mark. gave myself a black eye and big knot on my cheek, hurt my shoulder and took lots of skin off my right knee and leg. Got up and did 7 more miles...probably from adrenaline. I sure felt it immediately an hour after and through the night!)

    Sat 5/30

    MORNING
    30 chin ups (in sets to failure)
    Glutton for punishment. 14.4 miles on trails in the rain.

    NOON
    100 push ups (sets to failure)
    5 sets of bicep curls (sets to failure)

    this is offtopic but I have a quick question...

    If you do 4 sets of these much reps:

    10
    8
    6
    6


    Is it the same quality workout as doing 3 sets of 10 reps?

    Depends. Same volume, sure. Are you resting the same amount between the 4 vs 3 sets?

    Today was a 26 mile bike ride. Beautiful day for it... and I’m reminded why we should always use sunscreen before rides. Lol!

    Yesterday was an hour's climbing. My hands barely bled at the end, so hopefully they are starting to toughen up again. But I did have a lot of tape on.

    I fell off a lot, as the holds tended to go loose if I jumped for them. So a fair chunk of time was with a step ladder and an Allen key.

    Today, I felt drained. All I had the energy for was a walk. I got 20,000 steps in, so at least I avoided begging sedentary.

    Yes, and the exercise I’m doing is a bar pull-up with my own body weight

    If we go by volume, yes. To increase metabolic ‘usage’, decrease rest time. I’d say it’s the same as long as you’re consistent one way or another

    As I promised myself, lightened up leg day volume and still feel it! I also separated abs and legs by 1.5 hours. I want to get a little more serious about my ab training.

    I climbed for around an hour. With warm up and warm down, the session was around 2 hours

    I am recovering my technique, and my skin is improving. It was really good fun.

    The main workout was dyno practice, hard projects; and finally see how long I can stay in the wall for (which was just a minute - lol cardio 😀!)

    I am following a programme which is 3 days strength; and 3 days climbing. So far, I have done 0 days strength and 5 day's climbing

    A running store close by opened so I rode my bike for about a half hour there and back. And man I forgot how many sprints I need to do to ensure I get the right shoes.

    An hour of easy rowing this morning. Slow pace but did a really nice job of keeping the HR a flat line for the entire time, though it went from 75 to 80 while I was rowing on the patio in the shade -- 6 AM start time. Did three hours of yard and pool work after.

    One hour row today again. Easy steady state work. Seemed hotter than it was 75/76 degrees. Had to stop 3 times to wipe the sweat. Did some yard work yesterday and moved the outdoor fan I use. I think that made a difference. I also normally a Mission Cooling headband and forgot it. I think that also made a huge difference.

    Still kept HR all under 143, but I like to keep it under 140 on these rows. Only got up there toward the end and I settled it back down. Around 11.6K meters.
